Its a fair point and yet again because of the lack of an explanation from the Club we are left guessing and surmising. Not ideal.

A chance they may not even be in the play offs now Peterborough won last night.
Got to win their last game now to stay in 6th.

| This is all because the Rovers take precedence I should imagine ...yet we are Club Doncaster so it should all be joined up.
Throwing away home advantage is stupid!
Would the Rovers do that?

| I presume the 'pitch repair' period cannot start (or be decided) until the Rovers have played their last home game which is why more advanced planning can't be made on this.
If the 'repair period' is later, it could start to impinge on Rovers pre-season friendly arrangements.
It then makes it difficult to plan Dons fixtures.
It really isn't ideal having to play away from the Keepmoat and less ideal still having to go out of town.

Well they could play their pre-season games away ... is this a two way street?

I fear it probably isn't. I suspect we will always have to fit in around the Rovers.

No its all about revenue streams, we are simply unable to match the clout.

That's why people have had enough but being equal will never happen even though that's how it should be

| Looking at the league fixture list ... I think we will be pushed in 10 out of the remaining 13 games.
Given our injuries, and possible additions given our track record, we will struggle to finish top of the pile.
Oddly enough the bookies could be right and it might be Oldham, sorry or was that our friend Schofield.
It will be Whitehaven, Oldham, Skolars or Hunslet rather than us.
And that's ignoring Worky and Newcastle.
What would a finish in 7th elicit?
We will be in the mix surely?

We did this last year and I wrote us off and then the coach had a settled team. Who knows, predictions are fun (or not) we will end up where we end up (tired cliche time) it will all come out in the wash (provided the launderette stays in business)
There is a heck of a lot to play for.

| That's the difference. If I could pick a full strength side if everyone was fit even minus Hull players but including loans I could name the best side in this league. This is leading me to an inevitable conclusion and I'm inclined to agree with Jemmo. The issue is not with players here.

I mean he is struggling to field any side nevermind the same one.
It's unravelling.
We could really do without playing Catalans. It could be carnage.
They just slam into you.

I share your concerns over that fixture, we won't face a bigger team than them.

This year we haven't got Jack Logan & Brad England who ripped teams to pieces on the
right edge last year, they were nearly unstoppable. Also the lad we had on the wing from Hull all season.
But we definitely need a record breaking run of wins on the bounce again {all remaining games i suspect}
to get something from this season.
Otherwise its curtains i'm afraid.

Was thinking ... that is why Venetian blinds are mankind's greatest invention .... otherwise it would have been curtains for all of us!
